This post is surreal. Corbyn has spent his whole career standing for what's right.You’re deluded, there’s as much chance of that happening as there is of Brexit being good for the country.
This is everything that’s wrong with Corbyn’s Labour Party in a sentence. He is the leader isn’t he? Aren’t leaders supposed to set the tone? Provide ahem, leadership? Constructive ambiguity is just bollocks, it’s being frightened to do something. Procrastination is what it is. Being frightened to stand up for what is right for fear of getting flack or alienating voters. Never mind that if you’re a ‘conviction politician’ you’re supposed to show some conviction, the man quite simply has no balls. Emma Thornberry is twice the leader he is. Get someone like her in charge and we have a chance of having a progressive Labour Party in charge. Corbyn may have a progressive agenda, but he’s so hopeless that he’d never carry it out. He’s weak, ineffectual and completely out of his depth. I’m sorry for voting for him as leader now.
He opposes the sick imperialist wars that have left hundreds of thousands of innocents dead and tens of millions homeless.
He opposes selling arms to terrorist states like Israel and Saudi Arabia - both of which have atrocious human rights records.
He opposes the nefarious influence of the giant banks and corporations which helps to create ever growing inequality.
He opposes all forms of racism and bigotry.
He has stood strong in the face of a coordinated smear campaign involving the right-wing British establishment, pro-Israel shills, the media and the warmongering neoliberal/neocon right-wing Labour politicians you love so much.
Even when it must have been unbearable, when he barely had a handful of his own party's MPs standing with him, when every newspaper and news programme was asking when he would go, he kept going, because he knew he had a once in a lifetime opportunity to help the long-suffering people who came out to vote for him on two occasions in their hundreds of thousands. People you obviously don't give a shit about!
I can't think of a stronger leader, of a more principled and resolute leader who could have withstood the onslaught he faced.
His balls must have their own moons!
